”My Government, the Govern- ment of Canada and the Govern- ments of the other pl'UHllCl3R have recently been conferring on the sub- loci of health insurance. The sug- lgcsted program is one which has many features which would benc- ifit our people, but the cost ihcrcof must be cnrefuily siudlcd before 'n final decision is reached.

PASSENGER TRAINS

"In June of last year the Board. of Transport Commissioners hold a two day hearing in this province. Several organizations and individ- uals, including members of my Government. appeared before the Commissioners and gave evidence. Shortly after the hearing the Board handed down a decision that pas- senger trains be removed from the eastern part of the province during the summer months.

"Agricultural and livestock pro- iducts of the province again main- tained a high standard of product- ion and quality throughout the past year. although the potato crop was seriously affected by ” in some areas. The livestock and dairy industries of the province continue to be the backbone of our a riculture. and increased em- p asls is being placed by my Gov- ernment on their promotion and improvement.

"Recognizing that agriculture is of utmost importance to the econ- grimy of Canada. my Government iapproves support prices for agri. cultural products. To encourage vibe processing of local agricultural and fisheries products. and to pro- mote maximum employment. my Government will continue to make loans under the Industrial Estab- lishment Promotion Act.

"The program for expansion of- ,ihe fishing industry has been con- tinued with increased vigor. The method adopted for processing and marketing our ground fish has substantially relieved the depress- ed market condition for dry. soil- ed and pickled fish products. My Ministers propose, during the com- ing scoson. to pay greater attent- ion in our inshore fisheries. Con- solidafion of our position in the fluid of fresh frolen fillets will be MIIVOIY promoted. Mechanical equipment to demonstrate the feasi- bility of applying long lining oper- ntinna to ordinary lobster boat: has been procured.

"My Government has been suc- cessful in its application to the Canadian National Railways for re- (lured freight rates on fish and fish offal from the Western part of the province to the fish meal plants at souria. The fisheries of the Gulf of st. Lawrence have great potent- ialities and every effort will be made to encourage our people to take advantage of then fishing grounds.
